Download or read book Electron and Proton Transfer in Chemistry and Biology written by Achim Müller and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various aspects of electron and proton transfer in chemistry and biology are described in this volume. The joint presentation was chosen for two reasons. Rapid electron and proton transfer govern cellular energetics in both the most primitive and higher organisms with photosynthetic and heterotrophic lifestyles. Further, biology has become the area where the various disciplines of science, which were previously diversified, are once again converging. The book begins with a survey of physicochemical principles of electron transfer in the gas and solid phase, with thermodynamic and photochemical driving force. Inner and outer sphere mechanisms and the coupling of electron transfer to nuclear rearrangements are reviewed. These principles are applied to construct artificial photosynthesis, leading to biological electron transfer involving proteins with transition metal and/or organic redox centres. The tuning of the free energy profile on the reaction trajectory through the protein by single amino acids or by the larger ensemble that determines the electrostatic properties of the reaction path is one major issue.Another one is the transformation of one-electron to paired-electron steps with protection against hazardous radical intermediates. The diversity of electron transport systems is represented in various chapters with emphasis on photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogenases. The book will be of interest to scientists in chemistry, physics and the life sciences.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From May 3-7,1997, the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on 'Biological Electron Transfer Chains' was organized in Tomar, Portugal. In the application for support the choice of the topic was justified as follows: "[Until recently efforts] have concentrated on the study of the structure and function of individual redox enzymes and proteins. Enough information is now available to make a start with the study of biological electron transfer (E1) at the next higher level of organization, that of the complete ET chain." The interest in the workshop was high: the majority of participants had registered before the workshop was formally announced, which illustrates the popularity of the topic within the biochemical and biophysical communities. The present volume contains a number of reports based on the lectures presented by the key speakers during the meeting. The workshop dealt with the following three themes: a) Electron transfer, which is the subject of Chapter 1. The analysis of ET at the molecular level is still fundamental for an understanding of how ET chains operate in vivo. After 40 years of research the contours of the subject are becoming clear now. b) Bacterial redox chains. This is the subject of Chapter 2. Its contents show how complicated these chains can be, often involving a number of gene clusters. Our understanding of the regulatory aspects and control mechanisms of these chains is only in its beginning.
